Mario Kart Wii

Posted on 27 February 2009 by Chris.

If anyone has ever played any iteration of the Mario Kart series, then you know that the CPU controlled competitors start getting extremely cheap near the end of races.

Mario Kart Wii is no different than previous releases in the series.  It introduces motorbikes as vehicles, with the 50cc races being confined to karts, 100cc confined to motorbikes, and 150cc offering a choice.  While I experienced the usual amount of cheapness during the kart races, that level of cheapness has skyrocketed exponentially during the motorbike races.  Blue shell, red shell, red shell, lightning bolt, squid ink, red shell, POW, blue shell is NOT A GOOD OR FUN COMBINATION.

-Because I said so

    if you get a blue shell, try dragging it behind you.
    i do this with out ever letting it fly loose.
    this method has many benefits; first off, if any one tries to pass you swerve into them and the shell will take um out. secondly if some one targets you with a red shell(or green) it will hit the blue and be rejected. thirdly if by some chance you do get passed near the end of the race, it targets them and you let it fly loose. to get one try staying in last place on purpose in the beginnning of a race, this improves your chances of obtaining this little blue body guard. the nice thing is that even if it gets hit, it will always stay behind you, this workd on DS and cub so it may work for you too. if you can hole the fire button the whole race you have easy protection from bullshit cheating sims!!!!!

About Marooners’ Rock

Everyone grows up; this is how the world works. Just because we grow decrepit and old, however, does not mean we have to forsake the things that make us happy, childish though they may seem. This is the core concept of Marooners’ Rock; we geek out on the things of our past, present, and future. Society and cultural norms be damned!
